I bought myself a 15 1/2 foot fishing boat when I retired in 2010 at the age of 53 and swore that if that boat didn't hit the water in 2014 I was going to fill it with dirt and plant tomatoes in it. Well I am going to give it another year. I sold a 1972 Duster that I bought 11 years ago but another one followed me home and took its parking spot. 3 race-cars, a motorhome, Dodge truck, Chevy Malibu, car trailer, and 1 3/4 acres of property keep me busy. I am going to hit the gym this week to prepare for race season and try to get my get up and go back. Turning 59 this year so I got to keep moving. 
Oh I hear ya.... I own 2 homes.. one on 75 acres and
my normal home is on 8 acres.. so yeah it takes work
just to keep them up... then my other junk... and
I have a few years on ya

Hey Al, thanks again for that 16v battery you sold me at MATS, my sluggish starting turned out to be the starter. Unfortunately my trailer got broken into, fortunately they only got the batteries and a small air compressor so it wasn't too expensive but it still sucked.

What year and model is the crawler? Would it take the same engine as an MD model farm tractor?

That's cool MrP............The rifles are relaxing for me. Have several 1000+ yard rifles........6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x284 Norma, 300 WSM, 300 Win Mag and a 338 Edge. Just bought a James Coffey built 300 RUM, but it's not here yet. he claims it's a 1/2 MOA rifle at a 1000 all day, we will see. Also have a 6mmBR and about any varmint caliber you can name for shorter stuff.

I was thinking it was older. That chassis uses a BD 154 engine. B 414, 434 and 444 tractors from the 60's and 70's used them so there are lots of them around.
Kevin
Your correct... it was a BD 154... that wasnt much
more than a 2.2 engine
